Quantitative Depth Profiling and Diffusion in Thin Films
This book is dedicated to the fields of quantitative depth profiling, diffusion, and surface segregation in thin solid films. It contains a curated collection of original research papers and authoritative reviews that address the latest theoretical advancements and practical applications related to the aforementioned fields. The book is structured into three parts, each offering in-depth insights into its respective field.The first part concentrates on the quantitative analysis of depth profiling data, particularly on the application of the traditional and extended Mixing-Roughness-Information (MRI) model. It explores the theoretical fundamentals and practical implementations of depth profiling techniques, providing a thorough understanding of how the MRI model enhances the analysis of thin solid films. The second part shifts focus to the diffusion phenomena in thin solid films, examining the temperature dependence and the activation energy of the interdiffusion coefficient. It elucidates the impact of diffusion processes on the performance and reliability of materials in real-world applications. The third part delves into surface segregation, discussing the equilibrium and kinetic segregation in binary alloy thin films. It highlights the Modified Darken model and explores the influence of strain on surface and interface segregation in ultrathin alloy films.Suitable for scientists, engineers, and professionals, this book serves as a fundamental reference and a guide to the latest advancements in thin film analysis. It bridges the gap between theory and practice, offering readers the tools necessary for effective quantification and analysis in the ever-evolving field of materials science.
Stochastic Thermodynamics
Stochastic thermodynamics has emerged as a comprehensive theoretical framework for a large class of non-equilibrium systems including molecular motors, biochemical reaction networks, colloidal particles in time-dependent laser traps, and bio-polymers under external forces. This book introduces the topic in a systematic way, beginning with a dynamical perspective on equilibrium statistical physics. Key concepts like the identification of work, heat and entropy production along individual stochastic trajectories are then developed and shown to obey various fluctuation relations beyond the well-established linear response regime. Representative applications are then discussed, including simple models of molecular motors, small chemical reaction networks, active particles, stochastic heat engines and information machines involving Maxwell demons. This book is ideal for graduate students and researchers of physics, biophysics, and physical chemistry, with an interest in non-equilibrium phenomena.
Notebook on Structural Biology Techniques
This book describes the basic techniques required in learning structural biology.

The application of these techniques to a specific example (Ribonucleotide Reductase) is discussed. At the end there is a detailed Mathematical Supplement, broken into six sections, that develop (from basic principles) the various mathematical machinery needed to learn the techniques of structural biology. It elaborates on the key mathematical concepts mentioned in the various chapters.Additionally, there is a collection of Ipsita's papers highlighting her seminal contributions, especially in the data processing of cryo EM.
Theoretical Biology of the Cell
To understand life phenomena, we must consider form, structure, organization, motion, and the roles they play in "living" functions. This book explores such elements through mathematical methods. Beginning with an overview of dynamical systems and stochastic processes, the chapters that follow build on experimental advances in quantitative data in cellular processes to demonstrate the applications of these mathematical methods to characterize living organisms. The topics covered include not only cellular motions but also temporal changes in metabolic components, protein levels, membrane potentials, cell types, and multicellular patterns, which are linked to functions such as cellular responses, adaptation, and morphogenesis. This book is intended for undergraduates, graduates, and researchers interested in theory and modeling in biology, in particular cell, developmental, and systems biology, also those in the fields of mathematics and physics who are interested in these topics.

Solving Problems with Projections
It is a curious fact that even notoriously difficult computational problems can be expressed in the form of a high-dimensional Venn diagram, where solutions lie in the overlap of a pair of remarkably simple sets, A and B. The simplicity of these sets enables operations called projections that locate the nearest point of A, or B, starting anywhere within the high-dimensional space. This book introduces a novel method for tackling complex problems that exploits projections and the two-set structure, offering an effective alternative to traditional, gradient-based approaches. Beginning with phase retrieval, where A and B address the properties of an image and its Fourier transform, it progresses to more diverse challenges, such as sphere packing, origami design, sudoku and tiling puzzles, data dimension reduction, and neural network training. The text presents a detailed description of this powerful and original approach and is essential reading for physicists and applied mathematicians.
